First of all, thank you for your work for the community. But I want to put things in context too. I am primarily a backend engineer that work in Ubuntu box and using many Unix tools while maintaining a huge service containing hundred of OSS libraries. You can imagine If I have to thanks every one of them then I won't be able to do my real works. Also I don't think someone like Mr. Torvald would appreciate me adding more noise to his inbox because of my garbage email ;)

I don't write JS much but even so I'm pretty sure I've used yarn a couple of times and it Just Worked. Thanks :)

Also wanted to chime in here and say thank you for maintaining Yarn. I don’t use js often but yarn has always been my preferred tool when I do. Great to know that it has an awesome maintainer like you

FWIW, I am a very happy user of yarn, it always works so smoothly. Thank you!
I also happen to maintain a little "Secret Santa" website, hosted on a GitHub page. Nothing too fancy, just a static app that lets you manage a Secret Santa without creating accounts. Well, every year, I receive 3-4 emails thanking me for creating it, which is even more surprising considering they often come from people that aren't from the tech world at all.
Perhaps for my happiness I should invest more in this side project than in a package manager used across the globe :)
